[LawAndCrime] ‘Clearly unconstitutional’: Federal judge tears into Trump for trying to ‘navigate around’ the ‘rule of law’ and issues nationwide injunction against birthright citizenship banJudge Shopping™
In a Seattle courtroom late Thursday morning, Ronald Reagan-appointed U.S. District Judge John Coughenour issued a nationwide injunction from the bench prohibiting the government from enforcing the executive order signed by President Donald Trump on Jan. 20.
| A necessary step, because this needs to be elevated to the US Supreme Court as quickly as possible. No doubt a number of other Trump executive orders are intended to go through the same process of federal court injunction followed by the administration appealing for a Supreme Court ruling — some President Trump will win, some will need to be rewritten to address Supreme Court concerns, and some will need to go through Congress. And the sooner they know what needs more work, the better for the country. |
“It has become ever more apparent that to our president, the rule of law is but an impediment to his policy goals,” Coughenour intoned. “The rule of law, according to him, is something to navigate around or simply ignore.”
| Look, I am a 2nd generation Mid-East Europe immigrant. My Grandparents came as Indentured servants (forced labor), via Ellis Island. I myself am married to a sweet Caribbean Indian. She is 1st generation herself. But I still make the argument for the long held legal precedent that NO criminal can be, nor should be enriched by their illegal acts. Illegals sneaking into the USA, with the sole goal of having a baby on US Soil, to milk the system for life, is the same thing. ONLY those that have applied in a proper legal manner should be "Considered”. |
